Well, after yesterday's misery post, I am feeling much better today! (Thank you nym and iibnf for saying nice things). Still a bit nervous about going to hospital, but I can live with that. I went running last night, and afterwards felt properly relaxed for the first time in weeks and weeks. I also sent some feedback to snaples for Like Clockwork. Go me!

Why is sending feedback so hard?
One reason is that I'm always worried about sounding like an idiot if I only send a few lines of feedback. (But it's never stopped me yet). Or, more precisely, that I won't get across to the author why I liked their story. I read some advice once about sending LoC's, can't remember where or who by, but it did give me very useful tip that makes fbing much easier. I try and pick out a line, or one thing about the story that I particularly liked, or if I read it 3 times I'll say that. I think what's most useful about doing this is that it gives me somewhere to start, as I often don't know what to say about a story other than it struck me as being very good indeed.

I went to see 'My Little Eye' tonight, which I'd seen very good reviews for. How did I like it? Well, it seemed to take a lot from me, but gave nothing back in return, and I left feeling quite dissatisfied. Here's a bit of a spoiler, for those that haven't seen it, look away now. The ending was not a happy one, that's okay, but there was no real thrill to make up for it. If you've ever seen the original version of 'The Vanishing', then that's a film which does the unhappy ending to perfection, and the visceral shock and horror you get makes up for losing the main character. Just know that it was nowhere near as good as that, it was more like Blair Witch Project meets The Breakfast Club. But we had fun dissecting it at the end, which is the main thing.
